Boliden AB is a Sweden-based mining and metals company engaged in the exploration, extraction, processing and recycling of base and precious metals. Its principal products include copper, zinc, lead, nickel, gold and silver, which are supplied to industrial customers and other participants in the metals value chain.
The company operates mines and smelters in Europe, with activities concentrated in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Ireland. Its mining operations produce metal concentrates and ore, while its smelting and refining facilities process raw materials into metals and other products for use in areas such as construction, manufacturing, electronics and renewable energy infrastructure.
Boliden was founded in 1924 following the discovery of a gold deposit near the Swedish community of Boliden. Over time, the company expanded from its original mining activities into an integrated European mining and metals group, combining mineral exploration, mining, smelting, refining and metal recycling.
